Abstract: The presence of clonal macrophages in pre-cancerous and cancerous tissue represents an early stage of the disease in which clonal expansion of macrophages occurs due to HIV integration or other genetic mutation. Clonally expanded macrophages induce proliferation of surrounding tissue leading to cancerous tumor growth. The invention provides methods and kits for diagnosis of HIV- and non-HIV-associated clonal expansion of macrophages in pre-cancerous and cancerous tissue and other cell proliferative diseased tissue. The invention also provides methods for the treatment of cell proliferative diseases induced by clonal macrophage expansion and proliferation of surrounding tissue.

Abstract: A therapeutic product formed from a high concentration of white blood cells having a high degree of cell viability. The white blood cells are sequestered from their normal population presence in whole blood by placing the blood into a container and preventing coagulation of the blood, separating the blood into two components, one of which is extremely rich in white blood cells through the use of a reagent and centrifugation, sequestering the white cell concentration, and freezing the white cells.

Abstract: A method for regulating the loading of an adjustable-crown roll (10) having a stationary roll axle (11) around which a roll mantle (12) is rotatingly mounted, and by means of which roll a nip is formed with a backup roll (15). The deflection of the roll mantle (12) and/or the linear load in the nip is regulated by loading elements (13) and a backup zone supported on the roll axle (11) and acting upon the inner face of the roll mantle (12) in the direction of the nip plane (16). Upon the inner face of the roll mantle (12) of the roll (10) by means of the backup zone/zones, a sum force is produced which acts in the nip plane (16) in a direction substantially opposite to the force produced by the loading element (13), and the force effect applied by the backup zone/zones to the inner face of the roll mantle (12) is applied, examined in the direction of the circumference, to more than one point. The adjustable-crown roll (10) forms a nip with a backup roll (15) and includes a stationary roll axle (11) around which a roll mantle (12) is arranged revolving, between which roll mantle (12) and roll axle (11) loading elements (13) and backup zones are arranged to act upon the inner face of the roll mantle and are supported on the roll axle (11). The backup zones supported on the roll axle (11) are formed of at least two rows of backup-zone elements (20,21) or by a backup chamber or by at least one row of backup-zone elements and a backup chamber. The sum force produced by the elements or chamber in the nip plane (16) is in a direction substantially opposite to the force produced by the row of loading elements (13).

Abstract: Digital video data encoder and decoder operate to enable the low and high speed reproduction of variable rate encoded digital video data by reproducing and decoding intraframe encoded frames that are identified by previously reproduced intraframe encoded frames. In the encoder, digital video data is riable rate encoded (1), for example, intraframe and interframe encoded, entry points (i.e., beginning positions) of selected encoded video data are identified and which represent video frames that occur at predetermined intervals of time (e.g., 1, 2 and 4 seconds) in the video picture. Entry point data that identify these positions are generated (31, 8, 33) and added (32, 6) to the encoded video data before the video data is recorded on the record medium (DSM). When the encoded data is reproduced from the record medium, the entry point data is extracted therefrom and stored, and a successive intraframe encoded frame identified by the extracted entry point data is reproduced and decoded. The invention further provides for a record medium having thereon the encoded digital video data, and also provides for an encoder and corresponding decoder which encode and decode, respectively, digital still image and audio data in which entry points refer to each of the still images and also to particular intervals of time of the audio data. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The procedure involves using a self-propelled carriage (1) travelling on rails (2). The carriage has a coupling trough (7) for a container. The carriage moves until it is positioned with the trough above a container. After the trough has been aligned with the matching section of the container, both pieces are connected by moving one w.r.t. the other. Trough and container are locked together and transferred to their new position before separating. The carriage can travel along vertical rails, extending or retracting the trough by using articulated levers (L1,L2). It can also turn in about a vertical pivot to engage with a container received or dispatched on a horizontal roller conveyor.

Abstract: The invention concerns a cross or block bottom valve sack, in particular for powdered filler material, with a filler valve (10) incorporated in one of the two sack bottoms of a corner fold (7, 8), the sack bottoms being delimited laterally by lateral bottom fold lines. The filler valve (10) comprises a valve tube (10) which projects into the sack at one end. The end section (13) of the valve tube (10) projecting into the sack is substantially divided spatially in the longitudinal direction of the valve tube (10). When the valve tube (10) lies flat, the spatially divided end section (13) is folded over onto itself along a fold line (15). When a filler pipe is introduced, the valve tube (10) only opens as far as necessary along the divisions and surrounds the filler pipe so closely that no filler material can escape at the sides.

Abstract: An active carbon for use in the treatment of exhaust gas can be obtained by heat-treating a starting active carbon fiber derived from polyacrylonitrile, pitch or the like or a starting particulate active carbon in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. The heat-treating temperature is preferably in the range of 600 to 1,200 DEG C for use in the desulfurization of exhaust gas, and in range of 600 to 1,000 DEG C for use in the denitration of exhaust gas. By using the resulting heat-treated active carbon for the purpose of desulfurization, the sulfur oxide concentration in exhaust gas can be reduced to 5 ppm or below. Moreover, by using the heat-treated active carbon in combination with conventional denitration based on selective catalytic reduction, the nitrogen oxide concentration in exhaust gas can be reduced to 1 ppm or below. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A CPU or microprocessor which includes a general purpose CPU component, such as an X86 core, and also includes a DSP core. The CPU also includes an intelligent DSP function decoder or preprocessor which examines X86 opcode sequences and determines if a DSP function is being executed. If the DSP function decoder determines that a DSP function is being executed, the DSP function decoder converts or maps the opcodes to a DSP macro instruction that is provided to the DSP core. The DSP core executes one or more DSP instructions to implement the desired DSP function in response to the macro instruction. The DSP core implements or performs the DSP function using a lesser number of instructions and also in reduced number of clock cycles, thus increasing system performance. If the X86 opcodes in the instruction cache or instruction memory do not indicate or are not intended to perform a DSP-type function, the opcodes are provided to the X86 core as which occurs in current prior art computer systems. The X86 core and the DSP core are coupled to each other and communicate data and timing signals for synchronization purposes. Thus, the DSP core offloads these mathematical functions from the X86 core, thereby increasing system performance. The DSP core also operates in parallel with the X86 core, providing further performance benefits. The CPU of the present invention thus implements DSP functions more efficiently than X86 logic while requiring no additional X86 opcodes. The present invention also generates code that operates transparently on an X86 only CPU or a CPU according to the present invention which includes X86 and DSP cores. Thus the present invention is backwards compatible with existing software.
